Interestingly, the plot of this movie is uncannily similar to that of a 1958 John D. MacDonald novel called "Clemmie." A suburban family man, a bit of a stiff, whose wife and daughter are out of town, gets drawn into the orbit of a sexy but volatile young woman. I wonder if the screenwriters for "Kitten" were JDM fans?

For the longest time, I couldn't remember what this movie was about, but as soon as I started the episode it all came back to me; the problem is the tit le; i kept thinking of it in very literal terms and coming up blank, for obvious reasons.
In any case, I actually kind of like this one.

Fiction or not, I hate to see people get taken advantage of, even when the one taken advantage of is a complete idiot. This is one of the few episodes, along with The Starfighters and Monster-A-Go-Go, that feel like a chore for me to watch.

You know, that movie wasn't terrible. I was genuinely concerned for both Stratton and Jody. Sure, he consistently and stupidly couldn't leave when it was best for him to. But she was a compelling and tragic character and I understood his predicament. The film had me in pleasant suspense, I admit it.

Jesus, was suburban life in the 50s this annoying? People just show up with a giant flower arrangement and force their way into your house, wander around freely, interrogate you about everything going on, and push and demand you engage with them. "I have a headache." "I know just the thing, three asprin! Now I'm going to go into your bathroom, dig through your medicine cabinet, and you'll take them and come with us to some stupid dinner right now!"

"Everything is so creamy!!!"
Makes me lol every time! Honestly if I were in his place, I would've locked the door and unplugged the phone, kitten with a whip indeed!!! Ann Margaret is hot beyond belief, rawr!!!

This is one of those episodes that is difficult for me to watch. Sure, it's easy-going at first and has Ann Margaret (va-va-va-voom!), but at about the halfway point I can't help thinking "WTH WERE THE DIRECTOR AND WRITER THINKING ABOUT?!" Sure, the riffs are great, but man it's a hard movie to get through. I actually find Monster A-Go-Go and Manos easier to get through - sure they're bad, but they're humorously bad... this movie is just baaaaad.

Settle down, Joe. It's a weird glitch. The address for Kitten only works when you go to Vimeo directly: it links to the wrong movie when embedded. Probably a Vimeo error. Whatever. It's a free service. Lighten up... https://vimeo.com/102333485

The hell?? Never mind. Vimeo... sucks. The wrong episode is coming up, even though I put the link up for KItten, from the web browser, from the page on which I am CURRENTLY WATCHING it. Even though it has the wrong title. Sigh.

Truly, this must be the dumbest protagonist I have ever had the dubious pleasure of yelling at throughout the course of a film. At least he sets the bar low early on when, for no reason whatsoever, he lies about deliberately purchasing a dress in the wrong size for his wife. This sets the stage for an impressively consistent habit of lying when he stands to gain nothing and telling the truth when he stands to lose tremendously.

Later, David finds himself in a situation where his captors have turned on one another and become thoroughly distracted by the fact that one of them is wounded, and he sees this as the perfect opportunity to put down his weapon, move as far away from a phone as possible, and casually guide the antagonists to a washroom.

The idiotic decisions build upon one another until he makes the most unforgivable mistake of them all when he makes the conscious decision to NOT screw Ann Margaret in Tijuana. God help me, even if I had somehow blundered my way through all the catastrophic errors that this imbecile makes, if I made it to the point at which they ditch Buck and Grant, I would absolutely take advantage of the sexy lunatic's newfound sense of freedom.

Ugh. This episode never fails to make my skin crawl in a way that something like Squirm never could. Yeah, yeah. The pretty girl drifter holds all the trumps and the big, politically connected grownup rich man is just a helpless victim of circumstance. Boo hoo hoo. Now, where'd I leave that book of ipecac recipes from Season 3...?

I think the film is one I could watch on it's own without cringing at it on it's own merit. The cringe factor is in the uncomfortable situations. I do like seeing a politician in this much hot water but her hipster friends who show up make my skin crawl. I love watching Ann Margaret curl her lip tho...wonder who taught her that? :wiggles eyebrows:

This movie dares you to watch it. Last stop on my trip through my unfinished episodes, and I must admit still unfinished. I made it through the kitten in the hexfield skit, then cheated by skipping through to the end, a minute here, a minute there. If the riffs had been over the top awesome, this might be worth watching all the way through. The ending may be the most infuriating part of the movie. Basically, nothing that happens matters.

Ann-Margret is one of the most gorgeous women I have seen in my life, but the overacting is almost too much for me. Even knowing that's part of the reason this movie was picked for the show it's hard to take.

Is it wrong for me to have hoped that kitten and every one of her lousy friends would have been tortured Johnny-Depp-in-Once-Upon-A-Time-In-Mexico style by fugitives in the end? Cuz I'm not feeling all that satisfied with the "all the bad guys died" cheese I was offered.

I understand of the recently announced casting for the remake of this movie only John Forsythe will reprise his role. And even though he has been deceased for several years they still feel he can capture most of the “intensity” of his original performance.
